Abhishek Sharma fined (Source:@veejuparmar,x.com)
In the IPL 2025 clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Monday, tensions boiled over as SRH all-rounder Abhishek Sharma was involved in a heated on-field altercation with LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi.
The BCCI has fined Abhishek Sharma with 25% of his match fee for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.
The incident occurred during the eighth over of the SRH innings. Abhishek, who was in blazing form with a 59 off just 20 deliveries, mistimed a shot that resulted in a comfortable catch for Shardul Thakur in the deep. As he walked off the field, Rathi performed his now-customary “book-signature” celebration, which appeared to irk the departing batter.
Replays revealed that Rathi gestured toward Abhishek Sharma following the dismissal, seemingly provoking a verbal exchange between the two players. Match officials were quick to step in, but the altercation drew significant attention.
Following the incident, the BCCI confirmed disciplinary action against Abhishek Sharma. He was found guilty of a Level 1 offence under Article 2.6 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which pertains to the use of obscene, offensive, or insulting gestures during a match. The Match Referee imposed a fine of 25% of his match fee and handed also one demerit point the first he has received this season.
“This was his first Level 1 offence under Article 2.6 this season and hence, he has accumulated One Demerit Point,” read a statement from IPL.
SRH put on a powerful batting display to chase down a formidable 206-run target set by LSG, winning the match with 10 balls to spare. Put in to bat first, LSG rode on explosive half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh (65 off 38) and Aiden Markram (61 off 34) to post a competitive 205/7. Nicholas Pooran added late impetus with a quickfire 45 from 26 balls.
SRH responded aggressively in the chase, with Abhishek Sharma stealing the spotlight. The left-hander smashed a blistering 59 off just 20 balls, giving SRH a flying start. Contributions from the middle order ensured that the home side crossed the finish line with ease, finishing the match in 18.2 overs.
